A Journey Back to Self

“The lamps are different, but the Light is the same” ~ Rumi

🌿 Meet Laura

For over a decade, I have called the heart of Bali, Ubud, my second home.

Ubud is a sacred, nurturing place that has become both a sanctuary and teacher to me. After years of learning spiritual practices and wisdom from local healers and teachers, I began to live more slowly, more deliberately.

Intentional living for me includes conscious information consumption, meditation, fasting, movement, being in nature, eating whole foods, and most recently, I learned the quiet skill of traditional mala making- a practice as old & sacred as Bali itself.

Mala beads can be found all around the world, across many cultures & countries- India, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, Bhutan to name a few.

Traditionally connected to Buddhism and Hindu traditions, malas are used as tools of mindfulness- counters of mantras & prayers.

Sanskrit for ‘Garland’, they are traditionally comprised of 108 beads, a larger Guru bead, and a tassel- representing the lotus flower, a symbol of enlightenment and completion.

The practice of making malas is rooted in the belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to who we truly are- the awareness found within moments of stillness and then weaving that awareness into something you can wear as a daily anchor to Self.

🌿 Reiki & Intuitive Healing

Alongside my jewellery creations, I am also a neonatal nurse with 20 years experience working in hospitals & a Usui Reiki practitioner. Reiki was a natural branch off my nursing career & has called to me since I was a child (when I first experienced Reiki).

Reiki is gentle yet powerful healing modality that has been used for centuries all around the world- Japan, India, Egypt. A form of energetic healing, Reiki restores balance within the mind, body, and spirit and its benefits can be felt immediately.

During a reiki attunement, the practitioner is energetically initiated to channel this energy and direct it with intention into a person, a space or to an event (distant Reiki).

By channelling Ki or Chi (Japanese for Universal Life Force Energy), Reiki flows exactly where it is needed.

Through a series of specific hand placements over the body and the use of sacred symbols, Reiki encourages relaxation, clarity, emotional release, and gently brings the body from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state, into a relaxed and calm (parasympathetic state) where healing can take place.

Each Reiki session is individualised, but my aim is always the same- to meet my clients where they are at & restore balance.

Sessions can include (but not limited to) crystal and sound therapy, and any intuitively received information (if any).

Reiki can be beneficial for:

• Releasing stagnant or unwanted emotional energy

• Cutting cords to people, places, events etc

• Trauma, Grief & Attachments

• Deep relaxation & nervous system reset

• Encouraging restful sleep & supporting burnout recovery

• Promoting healing in any area of the body

• Pain relief

• Inner Child Healing

• Energetic & emotional blockage release

• Anxiety & stress release

• Chakra balancing & Clearing

• Mindfulness & deepening meditation

• Repairing Auric Field Tears

• Connection with your Higher (Authentic) Self, Guides & Ancestors

  Reiki is not a band-aid, it is a supportive ally- it will help you to restore balance & heal on every level (even if you fall asleep during your session!).

🌿 The Magic of Mala Beads

Each piece is handmade carrying its own unique energy and intention- your energy, and your intentions.

Using sustainably sourced crystals and materials and combining them with our signature, divine smelling sandalwood beads- this jewellery carries more than just a calming beauty, it's an experience.

Did you know: The more that you speak into your malas and the more you wear them, the more protective and connected to you they become?

Over time, they become an extension of you, your own talisman.

Return to Light uniquely combines the healing flow of Reiki, crystal therapy, sound therapy & the authentic practice of mala-making to create meaningful sacred jewellery for ritual, meditation, yoga, adornment, or a simple daily reminder on your bedside or altar space.

A Gentle Reminder

You are not lost.

You are not broken.

You are already whole, and together we can return you back to your own inner light.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Blessings,
